As long as it doesn't exceed the size of the putty buffer (which you can increase), you can just cat the file, use the slider bar and go to the top, then highlight the top of the file and drag to the bottom. Ctrl+Ins will capture the highlighted text to your clipboard which can then be pasted into notepad. You may not need to use Ctrl+Ins if it's in the buffer automatically. It depends on the version of Putty or perhaps a configuration option since it doesn't always work for me.

What happened?
mailx isn't in your path or you don't have it installed (don't know what version of unix you're using). Try using "mail" instead or check /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin and see if you can find one of the "mail" programs. Then just add the path and it'll work.
